HIDE SMILES / InChI
Sacubitril is a prodrug neprilysin inhibitor used in combination with valsartan (sold under the brand name Entresto among others) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. It was approved under the FDA's priority review process for use in heart failure on July 7, 2015. Sacubitril's active metabolite, LBQ657 inhibits neprilysin, a neutral endopeptidase that would typically cleave natiuretic peptides such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). ANP and BNP are released under atrial and ventricle stress, which activate downstream receptors leading to vasodilation, natriuresis and diuresis. Under normal conditions, neprilysin breaks down other vasodilating peptides and also vasoconstrictors such as angiotensin I and II, endothelin-1 and peptide amyloid beta-protein. Inhibition of neprilysin therefore leads to reduced breakdown and increased concentration of endogenous natriuretic peptides in addition to increased levels of vasoconstricting hormones such as angiotensin II.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Sacubitril—small amounts cross the blood-brain barrier. Sacubitril is readily converted to LBQ657 by esterases, LBQ657 crosses the blood brain barrier to a limited extent (0.28%).

ENTRESTO

Approved Use

ENTRESTO is a combination of sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor, and valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. (1.1) ENTRESTO is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB. (1.1) 1.1 Heart Failure ENTRESTO is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. ENTRESTO is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB.

Sample Use Guides

The recommended starting dose of ENTRESTO is 49/51 mg (sacubitril/valsartan) twice-daily. Double the dose of ENTRESTO after 2 to 4 weeks to the target maintenance dose of 97/103 mg (sacubitril/valsartan) twice-daily, as tolerated by the patient. (2.1)  Reduce the starting dose to 24/26 mg (sacubitril/valsartan) twice-daily for: - patients not currently taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) or previously taking a low dose of these agents (2.2) - patients with severe renal impairment (2.3) - patients with moderate hepatic impairment (2.4) Double the dose of ENTRESTO every 2 to 4 weeks to the target maintenance dose of 97/103 mg (sacubitril/valsartan) twice-daily, as tolerated by the patient. (2.2, 2.3, 2.4)
Route of Administration: Oral
Sacubitril at concentrations up to 50 uM had little or no effect on the accumulation of Rho123 or BDP in P-gp or BCRP overexpressing cells, respectively. The flux of [3H]digoxin, [3H]E3S, or CDFDA across C2BBe1, C2BBe1-MDR1/MRP2-KO, or C2BBe1-MDR1/BCRP-KO cell monolayers was not appreciably reduced in the presence of sacubitril (100 uM), respectively. Sacubitril weakly inhibited OAT1 transport activity (IC50 > 50 uM) and strongly inhibited OAT3 mediated transport.
